Canon Pixma MX435 Ink Cartridges Printer Review

Expert review of the Canon Pixma MX435 printer23 August 2012

Our Verdict:

The Canon Pixma MX435 inkjet printer may look exactly the same as the other MX versions, but it does offer more. This compact all-in-one adds Wi-Fi to its list of built-in features, along with the flatbed scanner, ADF unit, and paper trays that fold neatly to complete the sleek design. The Canon Pixma MX435 can print, copy, scan, and fax, while offering a number of standalone features so user's don't have to be constantly connected to a computer. This unit is an ideal addition to any office setting, although print speed remains to be its weakest point.

Design

The Canon Pixma MX435 all-in-one has the same sleek dimensions as the earlier MX models, only it offers Wi-Fi connectivity. It still features the same Super G3 fax mode, which allows a 3-seconds per page transmission rate, along with the flatbed scanner, which allows direct scanning to USB memory and even e-mail and network folders. The Canon Pixma MX435 printer has a USB port right in front of the unit for standalone scan features.

Advantages

The Pixma MX435 all-in-one inkjet appeals most to small office users as well as to home users in need of a compact device that can do all the things that bigger machines can. The Canon Pixma MX-435 multifunction printer is preferred by many because of its Wi-Fi connectivity and ability to scan, fax and perform other functions without a PC. The MX435 can print quality text, graphics, and even photos, with maximum resolutions of up to 4800 dpi.

Disadvantages

The Canon Pixma MX435 colour inkjet can only print 9.7 pages per minute in black and white and up to 5.5 pages per minute in colour. These numbers may be higher than that of other MX versions, but the Pixma MX435 is still rather slow.
